Recenzje

Through prodigious research and judicious analysis, Alfred Chan has produced a biography of Xi Jinping that is almost encyclopedia-like in its comprehensiveness. Chan's book is a most important and valuable corrective to the hagiographical treatment of Xi in PRC media as well as previous biographies in English. He shows how a combination of personal attributes, the broader context of China's development since the 1980s, and a confluence of contingencies brought Xi Jinping to his current position as arguably the single most powerful and historically significant person of the early twenty-first century.
